Freight Train

	  		Intro: Am F G Am 
  
       Am                                    F  
Well I just came down the Chippewa, I had a station wagon and hundred dollars,  
  
      G                                    Am  
I was thinkin' 'bout the girl I'd lost the year before.  
  
  Am                               F  
I hadn't seen her for some time, I thought that I might go on by,  
  
          G                           Am  
When your memory came floodin' in and closed that door.  
  
Chorus:  
             Am                                F  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a diesel locomotive,  
  
         G                             Am  
I'd come whistlin' down your track and crashin' in your door.  
  
             Am                                 F  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I didn't have a heart,  
  
                 G                   Am  
And you'd need a shovel full of coal just to get me started.  
  
             Am                                E  
Wish I was a freight train, baby, wish I was a freight train.  
  
Every time I talk to you, I hear your jealous lies,  
I feel like I've been left abandoned on some old railway siding.  
And every time I hear your voice, my water just gets cold,  
My stoker will not stoke and my boiler will not boil.  
  
(Chorus and repeat Intro)  
  
Every time I fell behind and I could not get ahead,  
I wish someone would pull a lever and give me a little sand.  
And every time I slipped behind, hey, even further back,  
I wish some switch man would come out of the fog and change my track.  
  
(Chorus)
